Trying to get your family to eat healthy is a delicate balance of not being too strict and not being too lenient. People who grew up in strict food households often tell me they would go crazy eating every forbidden food as soon as they got out of the house and are now sugar-holics. Others had no boundaries at all and now struggle to like healthy foods. I’ve tried to land somewhere in the middle. I don’t forbid things like sugar or chips, but I do my best to upgrade by choosing better ingredients.But, still, I worry. It’s not easy being a nutritionist’s kid and I feel like they’ve been making some “openly rebelling” choices lately. I’m struggling with the loss of control as my kids become teenagers and flex their independence muscles when it comes to food. We’re talking all about it in this week’s podcast and, as usual, turning to Scripture for guidance. Come listen to the two most important things to do when it comes to influencing your family’s health!For more information and to access the show notes for this episode, visit my website here: https://www.thechristiannutritionist.com/podcast/126

You can count calories in, but you may be blocking them from “getting out.” Insulin blocks fat burning and if you’re eating foods or drinking beverages that constantly raise insulin, you are messaging your body to store fat and not to burn it. Things like artificial sweeteners and diet drinks may not have calories, but they can still raise insulin and signal your body to be in “storage mode.”Calorie counting can be helpful, but it’s not everything. There are other factors that can block your “calories out” and we’re going over them in this week’s podcast.

I want to take you back to a time when people didn’t have gyms, peloton bikes, dumbbells, group classes or workout apps (OR pre/post workout drinks for that matter!). How did people stay fit in the “olden” days? We can look back to fitness in Biblical times and see that, even without all of these modern exercise advantages, they were able to stay fit. Their physical activity was naturally built into everyday life and not something they did separately like we do. They didn’t need to “go work out” because their lives were a workout. Ancient exercise was Functional exercise and we can gain a lot of perspective by considering how unconvoluted and accessible exercise can be.Listen to this week’s podcast for your weekly dose of God’s word and practical health advice.

There’s a detrimental cascade of hormonal imbalance when we don’t get enough sleep. Our hunger and satiety hormones get out of whack so we don’t get the right signals that tell us we’re hungry or full. Ghrelin, our appetite stimulating hormone, increases from lack of sleep and leptin, our appetite suppressing hormone, decreases. This makes us prone to overeating because our brains aren’t getting the right signals. Throw in too much cortisol due to stress and excessive light exposure and you’ve got a recipe for a sabotaging sweet tooth and weight gain. Listen to this week’s podcast to learn how these hormones work according to a circadian rhythm and how we can best optimize sleep for good health and optimal weight.

The most efficient breathing rhythm is 5.5 second inhales followed by 5.5 second exhales through your nose. Overbreathing or breathing through your mouth causes major metabolic and overall health problems. Breathing too much and too fast are the breaths of stress and fear. And you know God didn’t give us the spirit of fear! On top of that, chronic mouthbreathing leads to poor focus and mood, weight gain, periodontal disease, sleep apnea and many more health issues. We are meant to breathe through our noses. After all - God DID breathe life into man through the nostrils. Listen to this week’s podcast to learn how breathing efficiently is one of the foundational pillars of good health and metabolism.
